Affecting Server - Minecraft Server USA | Priority - Critical

Update: 2014-05-17 22:59 MST - The migration is complete and servers are all back online. We are checking them all now to ensure everything is running as expected.

Your IP address ill change, but your port will remain the same.

The new IP is 198.52.168.133

The migration will start shortly. An in-game broadcast will be sent before the servers are shut down. When the migration is finished, you will be on the new IP Address. Anyone using a .vgmc.us subdomain will automatically have that information updated with the new IP address.

If you are on a dedicated IP address on this host, you will be emailed separately with the new IP address.

Please contact us via email, ticket or live chat if you have any questions or concerns.
